District 9 – 9.00pm, Channel4

Aliens invade South Africa in this rabble-rousing blend of sci-fi action and social commentary. Nobody saw it coming before it's release in 2009, but it went on to storm the box office.

Charlotte's Web – 4.25pm, Channel4

Kids and grown-ups alike will be drawn into this modern re-spin of EB White's classic farm tale using a combination of live action and CG effects. It's up to Dakota Fanning to save a pig's bacon while Julia Roberts narrates as the eponymous spider.

Wanted – 10.00pm, ITV2
